Spring Tablescape Inspiration

Hello everyone.  I hope you are all enjoying your weekend.  It is still a bit cold and windy here in the Northeast making a little difficult to think about spring decorating....  Nevertheless, I am very much looking forward to pastels colors, spring flowers and warm days ahead.

We have been busy finishing up a few makeovers around the house.  My reading room is done with the exception of new blinds for the eight windows in the room.  Yes, eight windows and there are a total of 43 windows in our home.  Yikes....  And our master bedroom makeover is finally complete. Window treatments and all. 

I promise to share photos of these two rooms in the next few weeks.  Today however, I am sharing a few photos of a spring tablescape that I hope will ease the way into the spring season.  

As many of you know, I enjoy creating a beautiful table.  Part of the fun for me is the planning that goes into setting a table.  It does not have to be an over the top table but colors, lighting, mood and food are key for effortless entertaining.  I love layering a table with crisp linens of lace cloths, napkins, china, fresh flowers and of course, candles, especially if I am entertaining in the evening. Keep in mind that colors and patterns aren't the only ways to make your table setting pop.  A mix of interesting textures can add a subtle and elegant look with very little effort.  

Here, I used natural plate chargers layered with creamy textured porcelain dinnerware, check napkins, classic stemware and forge flatware to create a laid-back mood in this setting.  A simple floral center piece using tulips pulls it all together. To add a bit of visual impact to the table, I added a natural twig nest to each place setting.  Simply beautiful.

I think this table is easy for anyone to re-create.  It is fresh, elegant and very inviting.  I hope you can apply some of these ideas to your own tables this spring.  Now, it is on to watching the red carpet and the Oscars.

9 Steps for Hosting The Ultimate Spring Birthday Tea Party

Hi friends - I've missed you all.  Things are rapidly changing for us all.  Many of us are working from home these days, stopped gathering with family and weekend outings are basically trips to the supermarket to restock.  It's the least that we can do to help stop the spreading of this horrific virus that is changing the world as we know it.  That being said, I am so glad that I got to spend time with family and friends two weeks ago when we all came together for the celebration of my Goddaughter Daniella's birthday.  We had a blast and the memories made are ones that will live in my heart forever.     My sincerest thank you to everyone that helped me put this beautiful event together.  Especially my cousin, Jennifer of Having Fun Craft s, for making all the gorgeous place cards and backdrops.  They were a beautiful addition to the overall decor.  A big thank you and hug to my niece Ericka for flying in from Florida to help me put it all together and to the amazi

Wood Box Rustic Floral Arrangement Tutorial

So what do you do with an old wooden bit box found at a flea market???  Well, the answer is very simple for those of us that love all things vintage and worn...  We display flowers of course.   And luckily, I scored big on my trip to my local grocery store yesterday. Our flower vendor had the most spectacular roses in stock.  I couldn't believe how gorgeous they were.  Two tone roses in the most delicate soft shades of pink and fuchsia.  I knew these roses were meant for me!!!  I grab two bunches and practically ran home to snap a few shots of them and arrange them to showcase their timeless beauty. So today, I am sharing a tutorial on how I made this rustic centerpiece...  The best part of this tutorial, is that there are no fancy materials needed.  The only items required are the flowers, a few glass tumblers, water and floral shears or scissors.  And in less than 10 minutes, you will have a spectacular centerpiece that will rival any one that you may purchase at a Floris

A Country Christmas Tablescape

Until this Christmas, I had no idea that I was going to be having a little obsession with vintage trucks. Specifically, red pickup trucks.  Me, the girl that loves to decorate with delicate flowers and romantic fabrics.  Hard to believe but it is true!!!  And decorating with vintage cars is seems to be having a moment..  They are everywhere!! So today, I am happy to share one of my most pinned and shared tablescapes.  It is my Country/Farm house themed Christmas table which showcases my latest find. You guess it!  A red pickup truck.  It was just too adorable to pass up.  I didn't know what use it would have in my decor when I first brought it home but it quickly became the inspiration for all of our Christmas decorating the last two holiday seasons. Such a fun piece to own with a great vintage vibe too.   My whimsical table begins with a distressed wood charger in antique white, topped with simple white plates and Pier 1 Imports Glad Tidings Porcelain Salad plates.  I al
